I would hazard to guess that the AGMA website does not give the whole picture. There is at least one dance company missing from their list of contracts, and I suspect many more....probably more of an issue about website maintenance.

Actually, this is a good lesson for any group right now looking to downsize a their production season. Best to plan ahead and try and get some language in the contract that reflects that option. A management rights clause isn't always that effective.

Part of me also says, 'hey, it's the union's job to yell - it's management's job to counter' and by golly, the ducks better be in a row if you're pulling that sort of manuever...management would be hard-pressed to cry poor if in the same time they give raises to management.

The dancer salaries mentioned in that article seem excessively low - so low, in fact, that I question their validity, frankly. There must be something hidden in seniority, or some other system. I have absolutely no proof, mind you, but it just seems, well, questionable. I know of some dancers that have left other contracts, and have a rough idea of what they left, to go dance there - and I'm guessing it wasn't just for the scenic views and caffeine and alcohol-free environment....
